>                 Key: DS-929
>                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-929
>             Project: DSpace
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Bram Luyten (@mire)
>            Assignee: Kevin Van de Velde
>
> The standard DSpace functionality makes thumbnails look ugly (distorted, not 
> anti-aliased, ...)
> http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/6663
> It's definitely possible to improve this because a few repositories out there 
> have implemented custom solutions, for example:
> http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/browse?type=title
> Look at those nice, crisp thumbnails!
> The Cambridge implementation was initially developed for performance reasons. 
> So, they changed the implementation, and generate the thumbnails on the fly 
> using ImageMagick. These thumbnails are cached in a single flat file 
> directory. If there's a corrupted thumbnail, re-generating is just a case of 
> deleting, and it'll automatically be generated next time it's needed. Even 
> with an empty cache, this system seems faster than the default DSpace system.
> info: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php
> Any developer out there that wants to take a stab at this?
